I have a big project coming up here, re-doing the kitchen. Currently using some halogen light under cabinet lights right now. They do get warm/hot but they are bright. A lot of the LED stuff I see in
I think you can assume that anything that uses active circuitry to convert the line voltage down to the level required by the LED lights has the potential to cause RFI. You might look into whether an
Yes. Home Depot specials, S9+ noise, but run them with a real power supply, no problem. Tun on the ps with no lights, , same noise _______________________________________________ RFI mailing list RFI
There are many China ebay sellers of LED strips that come on a reel. The LED are spaced every inch or so apart and are driven off 12VDC. Dropping resistors are on the tape. Current consumption is aro
This problem is so common that it is nearly universal. 99.99% of this stuff is sold with a noisy switching power supply. One aspect of the problem that makes a solution difficult is that a transforme
So if I am reading correctly what Jim and Jeff are saying, it is not the LED lamps or LED 'tape' reel lights that are the issue themselves. It is the POWER SUPPLY that is used with them. I wonder how
I just use Lutron dimmers mounted in place of the wall switches that turn the under-cabinet lights on and off. I have almost two dozen Lutron dimmers (from Home Depot) mounted all over the house and
Yes, the issue is the switching PS that is used. NOT the underlying LED strip technology. 73/jeff/ac0c www.ac0c.com alpha-charlie-zero-charlie So if I am reading correctly what Jim and Jeff are sayin
Dimming is quite simple. You reduce the current. Two easy ways to do that -- either reduce the power supply voltage or use a simple pot rated for the current. You do all this on the low voltage DC si
